I Striiv!

I'm walking for the planet. I just protected a parking-spot size area of the rainforest for one year with Srtiiv! It's called a "smart" pedometer, but does way more than count your steps. I love this little gadget. There is a sim-style game loaded that is kind of fun, and corporate sponsors donate to one of three organizations (you choose) - Save the Rainforest, Stamp Out Polio, or Clean Water (give clean water to a child for a day) as you earn "energy" by moving throughout you day. All at no cost to you, and no monthly fees. Just when you're ready to relax, or actually - whenever you ask it - it will throw a challenge at you. Things like do 20 steps in 5 minutes, or walk 150 steps in 5 minutes, or have a 2 minute "dance party". Those are easy, even for ME, but you select the challenge level you feel like doing at the time. When you complete it, a tiny crowd inside this little gadget claps and cheers! Very motivating!
